Pet of the Week: Dozer

This is one special fellow. Dozer came to the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals a couple of months ago, a victim of neglect. He is a 5½-year-old American pit bull who was severely malnourished. He has become a staff and volunteer favorite, and he slowly and steadily is gaining weight and strength. He never lost his personality. And he never lost his capacity for love.

This is one special fellow. Dozer came to the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals a couple of months ago, a victim of neglect. He is a 5½-year-old American pit bull who was severely malnourished. He has become a staff and volunteer favorite, and he slowly and steadily is gaining weight and strength. He never lost his personality. And he never lost his capacity for love.

Dozer may get along with some dogs, but must go to a cat-free home and one that has adults only. His forever home should be all about caring for this nice boy, who endured a really rough patch in life and now only wants to be treated well. In return, he will shower you with lots of his special Dozer love.

Despite horrific mistreatment and abuse, Dozer has come such a long way and has so much love to give. To watch a touching video of Dozer's journey click here — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYUuZah6AWU&feature=c4-overview&list=UUy8UO0R55S7z8m9fuyOCuxw.

Like all the animals available for adoption at the N.H. SPCA, Dozer is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on all his shots.
